Now, if you could only explain it to Mark Steven Johnson.

And, I did notice.

What can I say? I felt smug.

I suppose my only excuse for missing it is that I ride the short bus.

(I was apparently so dim-witted, it took me a while to try and figure out what was actually be said in this thread)

Just in case you have no idea what Mr. Brubaker is talking about...

Issue 98 - Previously in Daredevil page says:

"Attorney Matt Murdock is blind, but his other four senses function with super-human sharpness to form a radar ability. With amazing fighting skills, he stalks the streets at night in relentless pursuit of justice as DAREDEVIL, the MAN WITHOUT FEAR!"

Issue 99 - Previously in Daredevil page says:

"Though attorney Matt Murdock is blind, his other senses function with superhuman sharpness -- his radar sense guides him over every obstacle. With amazing fighting skills, he stalks the streets at night in relentless pursuit of justice as DAREDEVIL, the MAN WITHOUT FEAR!"

I guess I'm just so used to it saying the same thing that I simply skipped right over it. Or, in reality, it's part of the comic where the print is so small I can no longer read it without my trusty magnifier, so I didn't bother. As I get more "print impaired", these things get less of my attention.

I am glad to see it revert to the former phrasing, however.

Oh, that reminds me...sometimes that page is also printed in a color combination that is practically illegible. I wish *they* wouldn't do that! Confused

I'm afraid I won't be happy until it reverts to the one that called him a "Crimson Swashbuckler".

To the writer's credit, I have no time for the "previously in", as it always says the same thing. Except this time. And who you calling a whiner, anyway? Kiss-up? Maybe.

Hurray for the radar sense! Very Happy

Thanks for bringing back the classic feel to DD again Ed. You made it enjoyable for me again. I'm glad to read your DD stories (and your CAP too) BTW the Winter Soldier rules! (I just had to say that, sorry Smile

)

This forum debate could play out in continuity in an interesting way. Villains are more and more often referring to Matt's senses, as it is apparently public knowledge. But what if public knowledge was off-base, and DD was able to slip out of a bad situation because his radar is still his own secret? Something to mull over...

PPblair,

That's an interesting thing to take into consideration. If you remember, in "Born Again" Karen did tell Kingpin about the secret ID, but not about the extra senses and radar. Kingpin just thought that Murdock was faking his blindness. From the events in "The Devil in Cell Block D" I think that this is the idea that most people have ("Murdock just pretends he's blind")

While any villain can go now to stalk the Nelson, Blake & Murdock premises, you know, just in case, not every villain is absolutely sure that Matt=DD (as much as the majority of the public) , and I think that the actual nature of DD's powers is still a knowledge privvy to a very close circle around Matt (or privvy to very intimate enemies, i.e. Elektra knew).

IMHO, and unless a DD writer chooses to write it otherwise, DD's enhanced senses and radar are still his ace in the sleeve.

The Message Board is currently in read-only mode, as the software is now out of date. Several features and pages have been removed. If/When I get time I intend to re-launch the board with updated software.
